Token Commission Prices
Added 2018-08-19 16:13:55 +0000 UTCSo this is a breakdown of the cost to commission something using the token system on the higher tiers. I make this available to everybody in case some people change tiers and still want that information available. This post will be linked back to regularly, probably every time the commission queue open, starting this coming September.
I've been asked some good questions regarding this system, here's a short FAQ:
What is the ratio of token to $?: 1 token= 10$, so if you pledge 50$, you get 5 token. You can pledge more than the tier you're in if you really, really want a commission.
Can I round up a commission with a direct payment? Yes, if you want to commission something but you don't quite have enough token but happens to have the money right there right now, we can work it out so you don't wait 6 months for your picture, just message me here or on discord and we'll figure it out.
If I increase my pledge halfway through the month, do I get more tokens? Yes, when you increase your pledge during the month patreon charge you immediately, and then on the 1st of the next month, I plan to apply the same principle with the token rewards.
Why tokens? Why Patreon? Just take my money already! Since I started doing fairies vs tentacle, and later Grim Fate Comics, there's been a tug-of-war between people who want more comics and people who want more commissions. This new system is an attempt to marry the two together so that the comic benefit a small % from commissions, and that I can actually open and manage a proper commission queue for everybody rather than a few select people.
If you have any question, feel free to ask them in the comments, I might add them to this FAQ depending on their pertinence.

If they are fvt-related, they will be shown to the 5$ tier, if not, only 10$+ tier. The commissioner has also the rights to show it , or not, to who they want if it is not fvt-related. If it's related to fvt, I retain certain publication right since this is my IP.
2018-08-19 18:13:53 +0000 UTCWho gets to see these commissions btw? Is it limited to a certain patreon level like the $5 tier for bonus artwork or something?

2018-08-19 18:11:42 +0000 UTCNo, token are a higher tier thing only, the reward for 5$ remain bonus art and various design sketches. Bonus art will still happen in the new system even if the question and contests are removed, in fact I will mostly start working on Dark Forest entries again. Also, token last forever, in terms as long as this Project exist. If the project were to end, I'd arrange something with people who have unused token, ranging from token refund to discounted artworks.
2018-08-19 16:54:10 +0000 UTCi have a question, i have a 5$ pledge for you, i don't have token like that, but in two month, do i have 1 token ? (two month at 5$ => 10$) and the token are available only for a short period of time or forever ? (and don't worry, that not a problem if i don't have token, i pledge you for 15$ on GrimFC and i like your work)

2018-08-19 16:28:04 +0000 UTCWill this change the base update schedule at all?
